Title: Tingly Fresh
Post by: bellevivre on June 23, 2009, 03:26:22 PM
I am in search of a soap to make me tingly fresh

1) Must be a gel, not bar
2) prefer a strong scent
3) if it's good as shampoo as well, that's a plus
4) not TOOO pricey
5) leaves skin tingly!!!

Ive tried Dr Bronners, and while I liked it, it didnt tingle as, say, The Paul Mitchell Tea tree shampoo does (GODS i love that stuff!)  or the L'Occitane Essentiel Elements rosemary body wash, both of which are too expensive...

I can see paying a LITTLE more, but not the $20+ charged for those!

Try looking at the Dove body washes.. There is one that I bought that was mint and something else.. It contained menthol so it left your skin cool and tingly.. (its the one in a light blue bottle, retails for about $9)

** and yes for those of you that read my facebook and myspace, this is the one I was smelling at the store and shot it right up my nose ** LOL!! Cool and tingly skin good, cool and tingly inside of the nose... bad...

Otherwise other placed to check out would be:

The Body Shop
Bath and Body Works

Those two stores always have some yummy body washes for sale..

I can attest to the Dove mint body wash. It leaves the skin slightly tingly, but I hated the smell. So if you're going to buy this, make sure you smell it first.

At Bath and Body they have one that is a menthol, trust me it will leave your skin WAY cool and tingly

Ditto on the Dove "Go Fresh"  fresh mint and waterlily scent.  It's around $5-6 at Walmart.  It's more of a menthol than pepperminty smell, but I like it. 

Muffin-hehe, you're not the only one who has ever snorted soap (or lotion) up the nose! :D  I hate it when that happens!  Then you look around real quick to make sure no one saw!

There are a few different products that show up on a Google Shopping Search:

Google Shopping - tea tree body wash (http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&num=100&q=tea+tree+body+wash&scoring=p)


Take Care,

Well, if you don't mind the soap being not made specifically for a woman, Axe has a VERY minty body wash.  Can't remember what they call it, but it's blue.  It's very strong.  My husband has it, and it's stronger than the mint/tea tree shampoo he has (think it might be the same stuff you mentioned).

This is awesome help! I too have been looking for a mint/minty soap/bodywash. I love feeling all minty and tingly before I go to work :)
